Karma reasons for concrete message

Message

I am not talking about the activity itself. I am talking about the meaning attached to it. Where is the meaning?

For example, let's say I'm eating a bowl of cereal right now. It comes to mind because I'm actually eating a bowl of cereal right now. This activity is meaningful to me, for a couple of reasons, namely enjoyment and ease of hunger. Where is that meaning (to be clear: not the activity, the meaning), and does it, indeed, continue as long as life exists on Earth?
